At Exactly 10:07 a.m. on Saturday, the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, made history when the SpaceX Falcon9 Rocket launched Birds 1 satellites, comprising 5 CubeSats belonging to Japan, Ghana, Mongolia, Nigeria and Bangladesh, into Space from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, USA. The Nigerian CubeSat, code name NigeriaEdusat-1, is designed, built and owned by FUTA in collaboration with the National Space Research and Development Agency, NASRDA, Abuja, Nigeria, and Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. Ibukun Adebolu of FUTA’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is the representative of Nigeria on the project. The initial launch scheduled for Thursday June 1 was aborted due to adverse weather condition. The satellite is expected to dock at the International Space Station, ISS, on June 5 at 10:30 a.m. Nigerian time. It is the first ever University satellite to be launched in Nigeria. From the International Space Station, the satellites will be deployed into lower orbit during the last week of June 2017. The major objective of Nigeria Edusat-1 is capacity building, i.e. domesticating the satellite technology in a Nigerian university, FUTA, and making the technology a common business among staff and students of the university in Nigeria for the purpose of research, resources and environmental management and sustainable socio-economic development of the nation. The satellite technology development in the long run shall have spillover effects on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education that is an essential tool for a country industrial development. Mr. Adebolu, who is involved in the Structure Configuration Design, BIRDS Project gives details of his role on the project, “My role in the Birds’ Project is Structure Design. Drawing on my background in Mechanical Engineering, I am saddled with the task of ensuring that our satellites have sufficient strength and rigidity to survive the rigorous launch and space environments. In order to achieve this, I have to ensure that all payload and Bus System are properly accommodated within the 10-cubic centimeter structure. I find this very challenging, because it involves a lot of optimisation and trade-offs. In the future, I hope to work more on other aspects of satellite design.” The Vice Chancellor, Joseph Fuwape, said with the successful launch, FUTA has shown the capabilities of Nigerian scientists and would build on the success to concretize its leading position in cutting edge researches and scientific breakthroughs. |

I was making a study and I discovered that the type of capitalism practised in Nigeria and some other capitalist countries in Africa does not encourage development. Taking Dangote and his establishments in Nigeria as a case study, mostly in the area of cement production, I think he is enjoying too much monopoly which is not good for a developing country. The funny thing is that he has the backing of the government, so who the government is for who then can be against? When there is monopoly of goods in a market, the owner of the means of production may increase the price any time he wishes, and since there are no alternates, the whole country gets affected, there was a particular scenario where one big business man imported cements to come sell, it posed a big challenge to Dangote, what did Dangote and his groups do? he reduced the price of his cement then to about #950 just to give the man a run for his money, the man in other to avoid running on a loss, pleaded with Dangote for him to buy his own from him for almost his cost price. In my own point of view, monopoly kills competition, and competition kills development, a big country like Nigeria needs to be diversified and not allowing one person dominate the whole country, that's why when inflation occurs, the whole country gets affected! Although dangote has created lots of job opportunities for Nigerians, I think his form of monopoly is doing us more harm than good in this country, I think we are getting just one person enriched, why others keep going down... This is basically my own opinion, so Nigerians and all lovers of wisdom, can I get your take on this issue? 1 Like |

Marcelo290:Well there is a topic on Bella Naija on how Dangote has single handedly made Nigeria an exporter of cement and has helped her stop import automatically, some as usual shared this opinion of yours, but this was a reply from a guy named ovadje, which l also agree with.... Ovadje says: March 2, 2017 at 2:24 am @madman, repeating your madness does not make it any less insane...lol! Dangote Cements COMPETES in Nigeria with some of the World's BIGGEST cement companies - LaFarge, Holcim (which has now merged to become the World's biggest producer), the UK's Blue Circle (before it merged with LaFarge) Scancem, and Heidergerg. Some of these companies were in Nigeria since the 1950s/60s, but it was not until Dangote Cement entered the market did cement quality in Nigeria improved from the basic 32.5R to 42.5R and finally up to 52.5R (which only Dangote Cement produces in sub-Saharan Africa). Furthermore, Dangote has even left the "comfort" of homeland Nigeria to go compete against these same global giants (in addition to local firms) in many other countries across Africa. So, abegi quit hating and give CREDIT where duly earned! https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=/amp/s/www.bellanaija.com/2017/03/dangote-exports-400000-metric-tons-cement-produced-in-nigeria/amp/&ved=0ahUKEwiUm-v-uqTUAhXDFiwKHXisCb4QFghFMAo&usg=AFQjCNFEUuXgcaEoIEgU_qQHN2Dep-rQ7w! |

Personally l think Dangote is just smarter, and not just because of the government. The guy you are talking about is lbeto. Ibeto could not compete favorably when obasanjo demanded we make use of local cement and banned imports, Dangote used this to his advantage and built more cement plant factories. Now Dangote is building a refinery but 28 licenses were given for more than a decade now but no one came forth to build. It is true that Dangote is close to the Government, but so are some other top business men and there is no evidence to support the claim that he has deprived anyone from competing with him. It's just that when you are successful in Africa, people must find something to say. What l admire about him most is how he focused on Agriculture for a long time and saw opportunities in Agriculture when many were focused on oil. Now that he's into oil, he's doing it in grand style, making money but boosting the economy, if this is what it means to be a monopolist then l want to be just that. 1 Like |

Marcelo290: Dangote is not the only cement company in Nigeria. There are others too but he is just a business man that understand Nigeria better than others. Is like saying MTN, glo, airtel and Etisalat are the only telecom companies in Nigeria. We have other smaller companies that even provide better service like spectranet, smile, ntel, intercelular, starcom etc but can't compete with the big boys in the market. |

68816419:The first phase the lapsset project (3 berths in Lamu) are already 20% complete, fully funded by the government of Kenya the coast is $500 Million, plus over 300km of roads to connect to the port already built, the last kilometers will reach Lamu by the time the berths are complete.. money for the $2B 960MW lamu coal powerplant aready made available, plus feasibility study for the $2B 1000MW high grand falls damn that will supply the lapsset Lamu city with power and water is ongoing.. Remember the lapsset project is mostly in north and north-east of Kenya, our north east is just like your nigerian north east, terrorism from Somalia, but still, the biggest project in the history of Kenya is going there.. on Konza, they have already laid underground power cables, currently they are building the Headquaters for the agency that will be incharge of konza city...... A project like the $14B Konza city is not a fully funded government project, Just like those new cities you want or are building in Nigeria, they are bieng built on PPP model, e.g for Konza, the government will take care of infrastructure i.e. Water, Power, Fibre optic, planning, legislation then the private sector (Local and foreign) will now set up light industries, universities, headquaters, research institutes, and then the through this environment is when they expect local talent to be natured and create more industries and advance the development of the country, so the government will probably contribute like $4Billion to Konza, the rest will be done by the vibrant private sector that exists in Kenya 2 Likes |

NairobiWalker: The passenger trains on the line can operate at a speed between 200km/h and 250km/h. The travel time between Abuja and Kaduna will be reduced to one hour and each passenger train can carry up to 5,000 commuters. http://www.signalng.com/abuja-kaduna-railway-project-facts/ Incase you don't know our railway will stretch over 1000km each. When completed its expected to move between 200km/h - 250km/h. Below is what was renegotiated with the Chinese early last year. This is completely different with what the previous administration negotiated. Even the narrow gauge rail rehabilitated by last administration is now to be upgraded by General Electric.
